The Elden Ring Nightreign beta gives players the opportunity to visit Limveld and take on a constantly shifting environment well ahead of the official release. While access to this playtest isn’t guaranteed and is also currently limited to certain platforms, the only way to secure a chance of early access to Elden Ring Nightreign is to complete the registration process by January 20. To help with that, we’ve got details of how to sign up for the Elden Ring Nightreign beta, and when it will be running for those who are granted access.
When is the Elden Ring Nightreign beta?
The Elden Ring Nightreign beta will run over five separate sessions, but each of these will be limited to just three hours so you won’t be able to stay online for extended periods if you get access. Each of these playtests will be available to selected PS5 and Xbox Series players only, so those on PC, PS4, and Xbox One will need to wait and see if future opportunities are added. The dates and times for the Elden Ring Nightreign technical test are as follows:
- February 14, 2025
- 3am-6am PST / 6am-9am EST / 11am-2pm GMT
- 7pm-10pm PST / 10pm-1am EST / 3am-6am GMT (February 15)
- February 15, 2025
- 11am-2pm PST / 2pm-5pm EST / 7pm-10pm GMT
- February 16, 2025
- 3am-6am PST / 6am-9am EST / 11am-2pm GMT

How to access the Elden Ring Nightreign beta
To access the Elden Ring Nightreign beta, you need to register by signing up on the official website, creating a Bandai Namco account in the process if you don’t already have one. Currently this technical test is only available on PS5 and Xbox Series, though Steam was also briefly shown when the registration first launched so PC may be added as an option in the future. Registration is open until January 20, so don’t delay signing up or you may miss your chance to take part.
